When Can We Call It a Comeback? (Or ‘Chappell of Love’)

I was eager to see the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week. Last week’s chart was the one that radio veteran Gene Baxter correctly identified as “The Best Billboard Top 10 in Ages.” That’s because last week’s top 10 was populated by radio hits, not by outlier songs whose story depended entirely […] […]

Ofcom finds 15 community radio stations in breach for late or no financial reports

Regulator Ofcom has announced 15 stations have been found in breach of their licences for not filing their finance reports in time.
Nine of these radio stations subsequently submitted a late report, Ofcom added.
Failure by a licensee to submit a finance report when required represents a serious and fundamental breach of a community radio licence, as the absence of the information contained in the report means that Ofcom is unable to properly carry out its regulatory duties.
Ofcom requested finance reports for the calendar year 2023 from all community radio licensees who were broadcasting for the whole of 2023.
“It is of fundamental importance that Ofcom can verify that a licensee is complying with its licence requirements relating to funding,” Ofcom says. “We therefore require licensees to submit a finance report setting out how they have met their licence obligations. The finance reports from stations also inform Ofcom’s own understanding of the community radio sector, and financial information about the sector features in the Communications Market Report.”
Those stations reporting late were:

Air FM
Awaaz FM
Bute Island Radio
EAVA FM
Fiesta FM
Juice Radio
Liverpool Community Radio
Radio2Funky
Skyline Gold 102.5

The remaining six still have not filed a report:
